The man is 35 years old and the humblest, devout Christian you would ever know.

The man is 35 going on 70. No question on his level of devout-ness. I would, however, dispute his being "humble". He seems to be arrogant enough to feel he has the right to trump a parent's right and responsibility to provide their own children with truth and morality.

According to those who judge by outward appearances of "piety", maybe.

Evidence of humility is teachability (like a little child). He may be humble - time will tell. Right now he shows evidence of being still quite spiritually immature.

The spiritually immature give themselves away by being guite legalistic (because the young still need guard rails), and at the same time, arrogantly assume that they're grown up enough to teach others what they should "do" to be "right with God".

Boris Karloff is just his narrator.

Sounds like he's also too rigid for his church's good. You don't convert people to your ideas by making them mad right off the bat over something so silly. The idea of Santa Claus can be incorporated quite easily into Christianity by explaining to children that Santa (or as we called him, St. Nicholas) gives gifts to children to celebrate Jesus's birthday.
